It is not necessary to use a combo amplifier or other serious equipment to play the electric guitar. With an ordinary computer at your disposal, you can fully play your favorite instrument.

Connect your guitar to your computer sound card with a cable. As a rule, the interface of the guitar connector is jack, the interface of the sound card connector is mini-jack, or jack or XLR for more advanced models belonging to the professional and semi-professional segment. Take an appropriate cable, one end of which connect to your electric guitar and the other end to your computer's sound card to the microphone jack. Usually the required sound card connector differs from the others in pink.

To do this, open "Start" -> "Control Panel" -> "Sound", open the "Recording" tab, select the device you are using and click the "Properties" button. In the "Levels" tab, set the desired sound volume level. Click the OK button.

Run the emulator program and select the desired distortion for the sound. You can choose one of the ready-made options or customize it yourself.
